That's just Indian food; why complain about that? (Indian food is actually pretty neat.)

I don't know, she just felt the need to tell me how gross she thought it was. Even if it was tofu, why is that her business to comment on? It's not even her house! I frequently ask her to leave my house because she is just constantly rude and seems incapable of having a normal conversation.

I try never to criticise another's creativity. They've put all that effort in to their creation... I don't think I have any right to actually criticise when I couldn't better most of the things I see made.

I don't either! If anything, I entirely support everyone's creativity! It wasn't even me who cooked the food, it was the nice Indian chef at the restaurant, which made her comment even more rude... she wasn't only criticizing her daughter...

I want some tikka masala now. I blame you for that.

Parents can be close minded, no doubt.

Mom is probably close minded and not familiar with the *exotic foods”. Eat your paneer. Eat your tofu. My mom can also be similar.

Parents (and really all people) are extremely hard to interact with if they've never grown out of that phase of putting people down casually and or / gaslighting you into believing it was a joke, and it's your fault for taking it the wrong way

My mom is a chronic gaslighter. She has been doing it for as long as I've known her. She is in her 70s and is never going to change, so yeah, very hard to interact with :/ She also doesn't get the concept of "my house, my rules" unless it is in HER house. She isn't very respectful of the rules in MY house. Which there aren't many of, other than "Just be nice." She clearly fails at that.

Luca, she’s never going to change unfortunately. She’s probably like my mom that she wont see anything that she does as wrong, that we are in the wrong. Just crazy. I am so sorry that you’re in that situation too.=(.
